Explore our PE

From protective food packaging to industrial pipe and more, we recognize that plastic converters like you need consistent material to get the job done. Cue our high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE)—these versatile pellets are rigorously analyzed and tested before they even make their way to your plant. The result? High-quality polymers you can trust.

HDPE resin

High-density polyethylene is known for its high impact resistance and ductility—making it the perfect choice when you need a durable product that’s abrasion- and chemical-resistant.

Decoding our grade slates

It’s time to play the name game! Check out our naming convention below and learn how we name our grade slates to accurately choose the melt index and density you need.

Density

18

0.918 Density

Density is reflected by the first two numbers in the product name, which is 18 in this instance. These numbers represent the last two significant digits of the density value. See more examples to the right.

Melt index

1

1 MI

Melt index is reflected by the third number found in the product name, which is 1 in this instance.

If the product’s melt index is >1, the value displayed in the product name is rounded to the nearest integer value.

If the product’s melt index is 1, the value displayed in the product name has a leading zero to indicate it should be a decimal.

Ensuring lot-to-lot consistency

The analytical laboratory helps us produce highly consistent product. For example: The lab’s data helps us to get as close as possible to the center of the specification range and to ensure railcars are near that range.

Checkmark
Reducing downtime

The equipment in our application hall has advanced features to help you better understand our resins’ performance and make correlations with your processing equipment—allowing for more efficient qualification in your production lines.

Beakers
Uncovering insights via testing

The application testing lab analyzes specimens made in the application hall to confirm product performance such as mechanical and optical properties.
